2200 Watts of Solar conntected to 250/100 MPPT to charge a 24V Bank. Controller Wire gauge

I've 5 LG 440Watts model LG440QAC Panels.And 14KW of 24V LifePO4 (can be charged to 0.5C).

Looks like the controller I should use on my scenario would be the 250/100, this way I could get the whole 2200 wattts into the battery. What gauge of wiring does the connector on the 250/100 MPPT handles ? It does not seem large on the picture, I'm concernted it will handle 91Amps out.


Strangely the Victron calculator recommended the 250/70 model, however that would only output 70 Amps and would limit my output to 1680 watts. Don't know why it recommends this model.


Alternatively I would have to split into two 150/70 Ve.Can MPPT controllers.


Please share your comments on the connectors and recommended MPPT model.
